If you can learn how to code, you could maybe work as a remote programmer and make enough money to leave that hell hole.

Reading all this seems so unreal to me, since I’m in Sweden. It’s like you are living in hell, while I’m in heaven. Sweden has a lot of immigration and of course I understand that when I read stories such as yours.

I’m really sorry that you got born in that country. I was just lucky to get born in this one. It seems like most countries on the planet are pretty bad places. Western and Northern Europe seems to be the best countries.

Hang in there and dont give up hope, even though I know that is easy to say and hard to do.

Of course, it must be really hard to focus on that when you don’t feel you have basic life security even.

I have no idea who would think you are useless because you don’t have a job. Are you American? Because I think that culture is slightly mentally ill about associating personal value to what job you have.

Great. I think the rest of us were made poorer, with stock market going down a lot, inflation and high energy prices.

But who cares right.

I’m really surprised by this, specially since I cancelled Netflix over a year ago myself…

It’s like renting movies that can be taken away at any time since you don’t own them. And ads can be introduced whenever. Not to mention poor streaming quality on top of all this.

That’s always the difference between American and British TV as well - the British shows have intelligence and the American shows have good looking actors but are plain dumb. :)

In the other hand, Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are American and they are brilliant.

All these things are just designed to make the shop do less work, and for you to do their job for them for free.

I’m sure in the future we won’t interact with people at all, because that’s whats cheapest for the company. We will be true “consumers”, like animals being fed by machines.

Well, at least if capitalism continues.

You can install them all on any distro I believe. I use Arch and installing Plasma is just a single command, same with Gnome and the others. After install you can pick which desktop to use after the graphical login screen loads.

There are some annoyances, like for example if you have both Gnome and Plasma installed, and you type Files to open a file app, you get the Gnome file app even in Plasma since it’s named Files. To use the Plasma file app, you have to type Dolphin instead.

Same with settings app, I often open the Gnome settings app instead of the Plasma settings app by mistake since it’s called Settings.

But these are not bugs per se, it’s just because I’m used to typing something…

Yep, for me the most exciting moment in 2024 will be Cosmic being released and partly also the release of KDE 6, even though that probably won’t be a big deal. Just nice to use qt 6 I guess. It doesn’t have any new features really.

I'm so frustrated rn.

I have been distro hopping for about 2 weeks now, there’s always something that doesn’t work. I thought I would stick with Debian and now I haven’t been able to make my printer work in it, I think I tried in another distro and it just worked out of the box, but there’s always something that’s broken in every distro....

@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Why would you use Debian, it has the oldest packages and kernel of all distros. I would maybe run that on a server, but probably just use Ubuntu LTS instead.

For desktop you should try Pop OS. Really good distro from System 76.

Stay away from Ubuntu, it’s very buggy for desktop. I tried it six months ago, fresh install, and the console app wouldn’t even open on a fresh install. No error message, just didn’t open. Great impression…

1984 ,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Naah I think it’s super useful to know a bit about all popular distros. This makes you able to actually take part in conversations about what distro to pick for example.

I’ve ran them all at some point in my life, which makes me able to understand that it’s not just “different package manager” as some people say.

1984 ,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

I mean, people say that, but for me it wasn’t a problem, I just picked one when I got started. Didn’t feel like a major decision since you can just switch again if you are unhappy.

1984 , (edited )
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

I don’t know which people you are listening to, but Debian does not have newer packages than arch. It has older packages than almost all other distros. You can see this on distrowatch for yourself also.

The idea of Debian is that old = stable, which I don’t agree with personally. As an example, users of Debian are reporting tons of KDE Plasma bugs that was already fixed, but because they are running an ancient version, they still have the bugs.

But it depends. It’s correct that new versions of plasma had new bugs, that was fixed in the coming weeks or months.

I guess a better way of describing Debian is that it has old bugs instead of new ones, since it stays on older versions.

Shit, that’s sound like a really cool class… Hope they enjoy it. :)

@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Yeah all I see is 14 huge failures. :)

Linux version 6 is a bit of a stretch though since it’s just the kernel. I guess they could have put Ubuntu 23 up there to make it “win”…

I guess. I had lots of issues with Fedora in the past so can’t recommend it personally but some people like it.

My Motorola Edge 30 its still as fast as when I bought it a few years back. That’s how it’s supposed to be.

Yeah true. I will probably keep it for that long since nothing excites me about new mobile phones anymore. Feels like it’s all the same now.

Yeah probably. It’s the ordinary playbook of allowing one site to become extreamly popular so it’s much easier to monitor users and shut down if needed.
